SUBJ: FY15 LONG-TERM ACTIVE DUTY FOR OPERATIONAL SUPPORT OF THE
ACTIVE COMPONENT (ADOS-AC) CEILING
A. Active Duty for Operational Support (ADOS), COMDTINST
1330.1(series)
B. Financial Resource Management Manual (FRMM), COMDTINST
M7100.3(series)
1. This ALCOAST announces the FY15 long-term ADOS caps as well as cap
managers.
2. In accordance with Ref A, Active Duty for Operational Support
(ADOS) is defined as full-time duty of a temporary nature under 10
USC 12301(d) for purposes other than training. Long-term ADOS is
defined as any period of ADOS that exceeds 180 consecutive days in
duration. Short-term ADOS is defined as any period of ADOS that is
180 consecutive days or less in duration. Ref A defines the purpose
of ADOS as providing the necessary skilled manpower to temporarily
support existing or emerging requirements of the Coast Guard Active
Component (AC).
3. For internal control purposes, a ceiling is maintained on
long-term ADOS-AC to manage the funding and full-time equivalent
(FTE) associated with reserve personnel voluntarily recalled. One
FTE is equivalent to one reservist on active duty for one year. In
FY15, the total ceiling for long-term ADOS-AC will be capped at 50
FTE. Sponsoring units are required to reimburse the HQ centrally
managed account for the associated salary and benefits for each
reservist in accordance with paragraph 10 below. Additionally,
travel and PCS entitlements associated with the ADOS-AC period are
the responsibility of the sponsoring unit.
4. The ability to resource long-term ADOS may vary from year to year
based on the criteria of paragraph 3, and may not be available based
on the need to preserve appropriation reprogramming flexibility.
Units with long-term personnel resource needs should consider
reprogramming other resources from within their base, or developing
an on-budget resource proposal to meet their requirement.
5. Exemptions: The following types of ADOS-AC are exempt from the
FY15 ceiling and allocations described in this message.
A. Short-term ADOS-AC: Short-term orders shall not exceed 180
days total whether as a single set of orders or consecutive sets of
orders. Consecutive short-term orders must have a break of 31 days or
more between each set of orders, unless a waiver has been authorized,
in accordance with Ref A.
B. Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO): Reserve members
recalled to long-term ADOS-AC for these operations are supported by
specific OCO funding. Contact your appropriate Area Title 10 manager
or COMDT (CG-MSR) with questions pertaining to OCO allocations.
C. Extended Active Duty (EAD): Reservists recalled to active
duty to fill an active duty position on the personnel allowance list
(PAL) enter into an EAD contract with the Coast Guard. This process
is managed by COMDT (CG-12A) and Coast Guard Personnel Service Center
(CG PSC-OPM and CG PSC-EPM).
D. Reimbursable positions: Programs that recall reservists
for
long-term ADOS to fill a reimbursable position must follow
established reimbursable billet procedures. Procedures are located
at https://cglink.uscg.mil/e3a94ecd POC: Ms. Loretta McRae, COMDT
(CG-831).
E. Other Coast Guard appropriations: Any ADOS-AC funded from
an appropriation other than the operating expenses (OE) appropriation
must be approved by COMDT (CG-831) prior to issuance of orders. In
accordance with Ref B, Acquisition, Construction, and Improvements
(AC and I) personnel costs, including ADOS, are funded from the
annual AC and I personnel compensation appropriation rather than
multi-year project funds. POC: Ms. Trinh Hoang, COMDT (CG-831).
6. Funding for reservists who complete over 18 years total active
duty service and reach retirement sanctuary under 10 USC 12686 become
the financial responsibility of the unit that recalled them when they
passed through the sanctuary gate until the reservist reaches regular
retirement (i.e., 20 years active duty). Reservists that will not go
into sanctuary during ADOS should always be pursued first, before
seeking waivers for a reservist to reach retirement sanctuary. Prior
to reaching retirement sanctuary, units shall follow the process for
requesting an over 16/18 waiver as outlined in Ref A.
7. FY15 ADOS-AC ceiling: Atlantic/Pacific Areas, DCMS, DCO, and HQ
directorates are directed to stay within their allocated ADOS-AC
ceiling, which is listed in paragraph 8 below. Atlantic/Pacific
Areas, DCMS, DCO, and HQ directorates are authorized to further
distribute all or a portion of their allocation to subordinate units.
8. Upon ADOS-AC ceiling approval, cap managers shall provide required
data to COMDT (CG-833) for long-term ADOS position creation. Cap
managers shall also provide ADOS position requirements to CG PSC-RPM
for reserve member solicitation. Once a candidate has been
identified and approved for assignment, CG PSC-RPM will process the
PCS assignment of the reservist to the long-term, temporary ADOS
position and provide relevant information to the members command/SPO
for completion of ADOS orders IAW long-term, non-contingency ADOS
assignment processes.

undistributed portions of support. POC: Mr. Monty Holcombe, COMDT
(CG-833).
